Shrews away, POSF second leg? Only a few singers? Are you on crack? That was the best atmosphere I have experienced at a TUFC match, there were flippin' hundreds of us.

I can assure you that you wouldn't love it if I was standing next to you for 90 minutes trying to sing. I even make Jedward sound good!

Yes i know it was a great atmosphere , maybe it was a bad example , but at most other away games it is just about 50 or so people at the back singing for the whole match.

Might be alright I went up and brought mine (And Awaydays) tickets in the seating and I got Seats A11 and B1 So assuming there in order then there should be plenty left though they probably arent from past expeiriance!

Thats good then , did you notice whether the shirts were in the shop ?

Yes,the shirts are now in and me and my son are now proud owners!
Also got tickets for Bristol-no mad rush as yet,doubt whether season-ticket holders/members will snap up all the seats before they go on general sale on Tuesday.

Arrived back from holiday at 3pm,tickets for Rovers and new shirts for me and BC-gull brought by 4 pm quailty

I'll be getting my tickets on Monday, couldn't get them today!

Shall be saving me monies for the home games not wasting it putting it in the Rovers coffers.

No you won't be getting the West enclosure. The Uplands terrace is the away fans terrace. Although the plan is poor the bit that goes beyond the stand is the away end or side. it's actualy quite a bit larger than the plan seems to show. The South stand is then partitioned off according to how many tickets have been sold for away fans. It is possible that if we sell say 2,000 then we would get the whole South Stand. And Boys. If you want to make an impression with the siinging then sit im the South Stand or you won't be heard. The noise from the Uplands Terrace drifts away so badly away fans can't be heard unless you all sing your hearts out with megaphones for 90 minutes.
This is a first for me as I will now be abandoning my usual post in the Family stand able to wind up the home fans with both shirts and scarves on. I will only be supporting the Gulls from now on. Havn't even had the slightest inkling of wanting to go and see Rovers at the mem this season. Thats how badly I feel PB and Rovers have treated us. I used to be quite comfortable with following two teams but no more. At least CC our web master at Glostergulls will be happier I have nailed my colours to one mast

On the OS it says "tickets will be available for the Bristol Rovers game from the main club reception." Will the club be posting tickets out to exiles who don't want to risk travelling on the day without a ticket?

i hope so. they go on sale to the general public (ie not season ticket holders etc) tomorrow, so i'll be on the phone in the morning ordering mine !!

I've got my grandparents buying mine tomorrow. Hoping there are some seat tickets still available.

I would have thought there will be seats left. I got my tickets today in the south stand!! Can't wait for the game now, look forward to it!!
